Chapter 18-The Four Corners Part Two
Raven walked around, browsing all the shops that the four corners had to offer. It was going too fast for her taste though because Beast Boy was bored and rushed through everything. "Come on, Garfield, can't you at least wait for your girlfriend?" Beast Boy's ears perked up at the sound of his real name. He looked at Raven who had her arms crossed and a smirk on her face. He wrapped his arms around her waist. "Well, aren't we the smart one?" He said. Raven smiled as they passionately kissed each other. Beast Boy's tongue slid into her half open mouth and explored her mouth. Before Raven could do the same they heard "Teenagers making out! GROSS!" They pulled away and rolled their eyes. "Kids these days," Beast Boy said shaking his head.
They continued walking when they ran into Terra. "Hey, what are you doing," Beast Boy asked. "Well," Terra began, pointing over at Aqualad and Speedy, Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dummer keep arguing." Raven looked at her. "Arguing about what?" She asked. Terra sighed. "The lady running the gemstone necklace stand," she replied. Beast Boy chuckled. "Well, I got me a girlfriend, and I don't think of letting her go anytime soon." He lifted his eyebrows and before they could continue kissing each other passionately again, Terra grabbed one of his pointy elf ears. "Can you...not do that in public?" She asked. Beast Boy sheepishly laughed.
Then, Aqualad came over. "I'm guessing Speedy won the argument?" Terra asked. Aqualad nodded. "Good," Terra muttered under her breath. "What did you say?" Aqualad asked her. "Nothing!" Terra replied. A big, stupid grin came across her features. Aqualad shrugged. "Come on," he said, taking her hand, "let's go see if they have any food stands around here." Terra sighed and looked at the ground. "Way to ruin the moment," she muttered.
"So, what kinds of items are you interested in looking at, Robin?" Starfire asked. The two sat down in a cool, shady area underneath a tree. Robin was on one side and Starfire was on the other. "Dunno," Robin said, "I'm not really interested in anything for myself." Starfire looked at him for a moment. "So, you bought a gift for someone else?" She asked him. "Yep," Robin replied. He took out of his pocket a beautiful green necklace on a gold chain. The way the sunlight reflected off of it made it shimmer. "It'll go so perfectly with her eyes," Robin thought. He glanced over at the alien girl who was looking over across the desert.
"So, Robin," Starfire began, "are we going to visit the canyons that are grand?" Robin looked over at her. "You mean the grand canyon?" He asked. Starfire looked back at him. "Yes, I do believe that is what it was called," she replied, "sometimes I just don't know anything, do I?" Robin's eyes widened. "Star, what are you talking about? You know a lot of things." He slid around the tree until he was next to her. Starfire sighed. "I just do not know much about your earthly culture and I feel so...abnormal sometimes."
"Hey," Robin began, "you're new here. We don't expect you to know everything. Besides, you know enough to survive." Starfire sighed again. "And if there's anything you're not," Robin began, "it'd definitely be abnormal." Starfire smiled over at him. "You are sure?" She asked. "Starfire..." Robin began.
He put his hand on her shoulder and moved her closer to his body so her head was now on her chest. "I'm positive," he finished. Starfire smiled. Robin put his head on top of hers as they looked out over the desert.
Terra and Aqualad came back with some hot dogs, some burgers, and a salad. "And guess what?" Aqualad began, "these were all made by the natives, well, except for the soda. The coca-cola company made that." He loudly sipped the soda through his straw. Terra sat down at the table. She then saw in the distance Robin and Starfire, all comfy near each other. "Someone go get Romeo and Juliet over there," Terra said. "You know," Beast Boy began, "maybe we should leave them alone for once." But before anyone could say anything, they saw Cyborg walk over to the two. "Another moment ruined," Raven said, sliding onto the table bench and grabbing BB's salad.
Cyborg and Bumblebee then walked over to the picnic table. Cyborg took a burger and sat down. "Those two will be down here in a minute," he said. The titans all sighed. Cyborg looked at all of them. "What I do?" He asked.
"Come on, Star," Robin said. He took her hand and helped her up. As he did, Robin noticed her eyes were half open and she could barely stand. "Starfire?" He asked. Her face was flushed and when he touched her forehead it was burning up. "Starfire!" Robin shouted. He sat her down on the sand. "You're getting sick," Robin began, "the heat must be making you feel bad. Don't worry, Star. I'm gonna get you to the T.V right away!" He scooped her up into his arms bridal style and began running. As he ran past the titans, they glanced his way and continued eating. "Wonder where he's going." Bumblebee stated.
Robin kicked open the T.V door and quickly lay Starfire on a bed. Robin then tried to make the room as cool as possible. "Don't worry, Star," he said, "you're gonna be okay." Robin tried to make her as comfy as possible. He fluffed up her pillow and got her some nice ice cold water. He pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. "You just need some rest," he said. Very slowly, he kissed her forehead. "I won't leave you," he whispered.
Inside Starfire's head she wanted to speak, she wanted to tell him to kiss her forehead again as sweetly as he did. She wanted to tell him she loved him, but the pain inside was unbearable. She grunted. Robin pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her. His head was on top of hers. He had to do something to calm her down. Starfire was shaking now. Robin stroked her hair. "I'm right here, Star," he said, "I'm not gonna let you go."
Starfire wanted to smile very badly but she couldn't. Very slowly, she reached up to her neck and grasped her good luck turtle. "Star, are you awake?" Robin asked her. She slowly nodded and opened her eyes. "Robin..." she began, "the pain is not coming from the heat. Oh! My ankle hurts!" She shouted. "Shh," Robin whispered, "your ankle? Which one?"
"The...right," she slowly said. Robin blushed when his hand touched the spot right below her mini-skirt and he prayed to god that no one would walk in as he was sliding it off. Starfire grunted in pain. Robin had no idea what was wrong.
He picked up her ankle and gasped at what he saw. Starfire was right. It wasn't the heat.
It was a rattlesnake bite.
